LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL. Before the Lord Chief Baron and Baron Chant:lll, Jus tices Shee, Willes, and Byles.) THE QUEEN V. ROBERTSON. Mr Littler said this was an appeal from a conviction which had taken place at Liverpool. The prisoner was a policeman, and it appeared that one evening, some time ago, he met one Joseph Speck, who was coachman to Dr. Bowers, in iLiverpool, and after some conversation with him, told him that he (the policeman) had seen him talking to a prostitute, that he had thereby incurred a penalty of 20s , and without he gave him ss. he would take him to the Hotham-street station and lock him up. The groom who had three of his master's horses in his custody said he would go anywhere with the constable if he would allow him to take his masters' horses home, but this he refused. Just at this time a sergeant of the police passed, and the constable who was talking to Speck recognised him, and said " All right." Finding that the constable was about to take him to the lock-up, Speck, in order to forego such an accusation, gave the cunstable 4s. 63., which was all the money he had, and then he went after the sergeant who had passed'them, and told him what had taken place, and the next morning Speck and Robertson had to appear before Mr Superintendent Sibball, and the constable was ordered into custody for attempting to extort money. An indictment of that nature was preferred against him at the Liverpool Borough Sessions under the 4bth sec. of 21th and 25th of Victoria, chap. 96, for the consolidation of the acts relating to larceny, and a verdict of guilty was returned. Mr Littler, for Robertson, contended that the verdict could not be maintained, because the act did not meet the case, and also that it could not be considered a menace within the meaning of the Act, because the utmost it amounted to was a threat to accuse of a non-existing offence. He thought the accusation was of so ridiculous a character that any man of ordinary understanding would have refused to have made himself a party to it. The Lord Chief Baron said he thought the accusation a very serious one. Mr Littler agreed with his lordship that would be so if it came within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Every man was presumed to be acquainted with the law of the land. The Lord Chief Baron dissented from such an opinion, because the judges themselves did not know the law in all cases. The utmost that could be said on the point was, that ignorance was not to be taken as an excuse. Air Justice Shee said Speck did not know the policeman could not lock him up. _ _ Mr Littler said an action could have been brought. The prosecutor should have left it to the law to right him. Mr Justice Shee—Quite so ; but the law could not do that till on the following morning. and he thought it was extremely uncomfortable to be locked up all night. After the learned counsel had quoted several oases in support of his argument, The Lord Chief Baron said the Court was unanimously of opinion that the conviction was quite right. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. On Wednesday the Lord Mayor of Dublin and members of the Town Council, and the Vice Chancellor and Fellows of the University, presented addresses of congratulation to - - his Excellency Baron Wodehouse, the new Lord Lieutenant. The address from the corporation was first presented. The members of that body assembled at IP3O a.m. in the council chamber in their robes, and proceeded thence to the Castle. The LORD MAYOR, addressing his Excellency, said that the address which was about to be read had been agreed to paragraph by paragraph, in a committee of the whole house, and was subsequently confirmed by the council. The Towrt CLERK (Mr Henry) then read the address, which has been published in our columns. His EXCELLENCY returned the followieg reply —My Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Dublin,—l thank you for the address you have presented to me. I accept your kind expressions of welcome in the spirit in which they are offered, as a mark of loyalty and attachment to our gracious sovereign, whom I have the high honour to represent. I need scarcely assure you that I entirely share your deep con cern at the illness which has unfortunately rendered neces■ sary the resignation of Lord Carlisle. Ireland has lost in him a most accomplished statesman, of whom it is not too much to say that he secured the respect of the whole community by his unvarying uprightness and honesty of purpose ; whilst by the amiable qualities of his heart he has endeared himself to all who have the happiness of his acquaintance. I am encouraged in the task which I have undertaken by the knowledge that in this country, where there is perfect freedom of speech and writing, I shall have ample opportu• nity of ascertaining the opinions of all classes of the people ; and I am glad to learn, from this address, the views of so important a body as the corporation of Dublin, for, although I have in Parliament and elsewhere paid some attention to the various questions of public interest to which you have referred, I am sure you would not ex pect that, on my first arrival amongst you, I should at once pronounce opinions on subjects which have been and still are matters of controversy, and concerning which 1 shall have means here of obtaining more complete and accurate information. The welfare of Iteland depends not upon the aid of the Government, but upon the energy and enterprise of Irishmen, mid upon the existence of that mutual confi dence to the growth of which I rejoice to receive your tes timony. I will only add that it is my most earnest desire to see this country as prosperous as the rest of the United Kingdom ; and if I caa in the slightest degree promote this end whilst I have the honour to hold the office of Lord- Lieutenant, I shall feel that I have done good service, not to Ireland alone, but to the empire." After the members of the corporation had retired, The Vice-Chancellor of the University, the Rev. the Provost, and other of its members, were received by his Excellency. The Solicitor-General was also present. The VICE - CHANCELLOR read the address, which was as follows :—May it please your Excellency,—We, the Chancellor, Doctors, and Masters of the University of Dublin, beg leave to present to your Excellency our re spectful congratulations on your appointment to the high office of her Most Gracious Majesty's representative in Ireland. We lately lost, in your distinguished prede • cessor, one whose cultivated intellect, kind heart, and genial temper won for him a well-merited popularity. In his retirement from public life, which we trust will be but temporary, he bears with him the esteem and affection of all ranks and classes of Irishmen. How ever widely they may differ on questions of public policy, they must all gratefully remember his gracious and be nignant demeanour, his earnest solicitude for the in terests of the country, and his zeal—attested by lasting memorials—to do honour to the names of our illustrious dead. We rejoice to recognise in your Excellency one who, is well fitted to fill the place thus left vacant. We recollect with pleasure, that by trophies won at a sister university you gave evidence of a youth spent in the pursuit of liberal studies, and the generous rivalries of literary ambition. Since then you have not only borne honourable part in the genera work of Government, but, intrusted by your sovereign with difficult and delicate tasks, you have discharged them with fidelity, sagacity, and judgment. Nor must we forget, as a circumstance which must attract towards you the hearts of Irishmen, that, before you were connected with us by your official position, you were already bound to this country by the closest and tenderest ties of private affection. Your Excellency comes amongst us at a period when, after long continued depression, produced by adverse seasons and de ficient harvests, the prospects of the country appear to be again brightening. It is our earnest hope that, under your mild but firm administration, our people, more than ever in dustrious and united, may, by the blessing of Providence, ra pidly advance in the path of peaceful progress, and may soon forget the disasters of the past in the prosperity of the present. Of the responsibility incumbent on ourselves, and the public services to be expected from us as members of a national university, we trust we are duly sensible. We know how powerfully the destinies of the country must be affected by the character of the education given within our walls to the most influential classes of the community. Our best exertions shall be used to fulfil the ends of our foundati on by promoting sound learning, eradicating error and preju dice, and training up the youth committed to our charge in the knowledge and practice of their duties as Christians and as citizens: His EXCELLENCY in reply said—Mr Vice-Chant ellor Djctors, and Masters of the University of Dublin, I thank you sincerely for your congratulations. The regret which you have so justly expressed for the loss of Lord Carlisle is shared, I am convinced, by all classes of Irishmen, and it must be a consolation to him in his retirement to know how completely he has won the esteem and respect of the people amongst whom ho so long resided. You observe that you recollect with pleasure that I was amongst those who, at a sister university, engaged in the peaceful contests of literary rivalry. I may truly say that, although the busi ness of political life has left me but little time to pursuo the studies of my youth, I gratefully acknowledge the advantages which I derived from those studies which are cultivated with such distinguished success by the uni versity which you represent. I rejoice to hear from you that the prospects of this country are brightening, and, whilst I look to the industry and union of Irishmen as the mainspring of Irish prosperity, I trust that I may fulfil, in same measure, the anticipations which you express of my administration. The University of Dublin has long held so high a place amongst the great collegiate institutions of the United Kingdom, that I need no assurance from its repre sentatives that they will continue to all ird to the youth of this country the inestimable benefits of a sound and liberal education, An Imperial decree appoints M.Ferdinand Barrot, Senator, to be member of the Superior Council of Commerce and Agriculture to represent Algeria, in the room of M. Forcade Le Rcquette, who replaces in the Council M. Boinvilliers, raised to the dignity of Senator. The Ilionfieur publishes an Imperial decree, issucd on the proposition of the Alinister of War, raising General Verge to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour ; making four other pro motions to that of Commander; 13 Officers and 46 nominations of Knight. Another decree confers the military medal of 104 sub-officers and privates of different regiments. M. L. Castel, Secretary. General of the French Northern Railway Company, has been promoted to Officer of the Belgian Order of Leopold. In the early part of the year mention was made of an identical circular addressed by Prussia and Austria to the German Governments for the pur pose of leading to measures against the renewal of an assembly like that of the German deputies o' Deo. 21,1863, and of the committee of 36 named b. that meeting. The German Journal of Frankfort now publishes that document, signed Bismark, and dated Dec. 31, 1863, and which particularly relates to the intervention of such assemblies in the quess tion of the Duchies. The circular has, therefore, at present nothing beyond a retrospective interest. THE TRAGOPAN.—Among the birds lately re. eeived at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois deßoulogne there are some Tragopane, a kind of Chinese pheasant, sent over 13y M. Dabry, French Consul at Han-Keou These birds are called Too-Chew-Kee by the Chinese, a name meaning—" The bird that vomits flakes of silk," They are brought from the mountains of Sze- Chwen, and also from the Hoo-pay, Fokin and Kwang- Tong districts, where they are much esteemed by the in habitants, both for their plumage and the delicacy of their flesh. Viceroys and rich people always keep same in cages as curiosities. The size of the Tragopan does not exceed that of a common hen. Its plumage displays the most varied and brilliant colours. The head is jet-black with a gold-yellow crest ; the eyes are large and bordered with blue ; the neck is sky-blue, the breast a fiery red ; the back and abdomen speckled white on a red ground. During summer it displays the magnifi cence of its plumage by puffing itself up and strutting about with the pride of a peacock, every now and then uts tering a hoarse caw ; then all at once it thrusts out a tongue at least a foot long, of a beautiful blue speckled with fiery spots along the middle, at the same time two charming little blue horns make their appearance on its head. This de lightful spectacle lasts about a quarter of an hour, after which the bird withdraws its tongue, lets down its horns and subsides again into its sober toilet for common wear, uttering an odd sound as if in mockery of the spectators. This bird, according to Chinese naturalists, is not only one of the wonders of nature on account of its plumage, but .t also possesses the most important virtue in the eyes 'of the Chinese, viz., filial piety ; for the young ones take care of their parents when age or illness renders it im possible for them to provide for their own nourish went. This affectionate care has procured this creature the name of Hiao-Ky, or " bird of filial piety." It is also called Py-Choo-Ky, or "bird that avoids trees," because it haunts rocks rather than woods. Its flesh is excellent, and the Chinese say it has the properly of makinj a man intelli gent. The Tragopan is of the pheasant family, and this is the first time it has been seen in France. There is every reason to hops that it will be aecliulatithed. FRANZ MULLER. DECISION OF THE HOME SECRETARY. (THIS DAY.) Sir G. Gray has decided, after careful considera tion and comparison with the evidence given at the trial, of the statements made to him in behalf of Franz Muller, and after full communication with the learned Judges before whom the proceed ings took place that there is no ground which would justify him in advising her Majesty to in terfere with the due cou rse o f law, It is satisfactory to be enabled to state that, as the time approaches for carrying out the sentence of the law, the prisoner appears to be in a much more becoming state of mind, and it is evident to those about him that he beg ins to feel there is very little hop© that the exertions that are being made to procure a respite will be of any avail ; and, although he still retains the stolid demeanour that has characterised hiss ever since his conviction, those who are about him say that there is no doubt that a great deal of his confidence has forsaken him, and that he is evidently impressed with the awful position in which he is placed, and there is a very general impression that at the last mo ment, iZ not before, he ,will make a full confession of his guilt. _ _ He was visited on Thursday by Alderman Copeland, who is one of the visiting magistrates of the prison, and several other aldermen. The interview was merely of a formal character, it being the duty of the visiting justices to see every prisoner confined in the gaol. He has also been visited by Haifa and Mr and Mrs Myth, who were examined on behalf of the prosecution at the trial. These parties are all evidently on very friendly terms with the prisoner, and they seem to entertain an opinion that he is innocent of the crime, and Muller appears to be very grateful for the opinion they have formed of him. The prisoner appears to be desirous to impress upon every one about him the idea that he persists in asserting his innocence ; but it is worthy of remark that he has never upon any occasion distinctly asserted that he was innocent, and the tenor of his remarks is to the effect that the evidence did not establish his guilt. Yesterday morning Mr Under-Sheriff De Jersey paid him a formal visit, and he reminded him that the time was fast approaching when he would be removed from this world by the sentence of the law, and ho exhorted him to endeavour to make his peace with God, and, as a preliminary, to make all the atonement he could in this world to his fellow-men by speaking the truth, and divulging all he knew in con nection with the dreadful crime of which he had been con victed Muller exhibited some emotion at the observations of Mr Da Jersey, but made no reply ; and, as has been before stated, the impression entertained by every one of the officials with whom he has come in contact, and who have watched him closely, is that his knowledge of what is going on out of doors, and the great exertions that are being made to procure a respite, alone prevents him from making a confession, and that the same feeling will probably pre vent him from doing so until he is, as it were, on the very brink of eternity. In consequence of the extraordinary number of applica tions that have been made on behalf of the members not only of the metropolitan but the provincial press for per mission to be present at the execution, and which were to an extent that it was absolutely impossible to comply with, Mr Alderman and Sheriff Dakin, and Mr Alderman and Sheriff Besley, and their deputies, Messrs Davidson and De Jersey, held a conference upon the subject, and the result arrived at was, that the whole of the applications were refused, but arrangements have been made where by the public may be assured of knowing what really occurs, and that what takes place at the last moment will be made known, It may perhaps be as well to state that, in consequence of the scene of confusion that took place within the prison upon the occasion of the execution of Rocker in 1845, the Home Secretary issued an order di recting that henceforward no stranger should be admitted within any prison on the morning of an execution ; and although this order is, in general, strictly enforced, the sheriffs felt that on the present occasion, having regard to the character of the crime and the extraordinary interest that has been created by it in the public mind, they ought not to undertake the responsibility of communicating the details of any statement made by the culprit with reference to the crime, if any such statement should be made by him, but that the proper course, and the one most likely to be satisfactory to the public, was that this should be done by some properly accredited representative of the press. The Lord Mayor. Warren Stormes Hale, Esq , alderman, ciiizen and tallow chandler, Lord Mayor, is a native of Hertfordshire, in:which county the Hale family were settled prior to the reign of Henry VIII. One member of it (Richard Hale) who came to London in the reign of Queen ElizAbeto, to follow com mercial pursuits, realised an ample fortune, and, retiring to his native county, founded a grammar school, which still exists in the town of Hertford. He became a large landed proprietor and the head of a family, which, in subsequent pertods was highly distinguished, several members of it having different times been ohosen as High Sheriffs and members of Parliament for the county, Mr Alderman Hale (who was born in 1791) was the youngest of a family of seven children ; and, when only a few months old, had the misfortune to lose his father. At the early age of 12 years he was sent up to London, where he was trained for business, under his elder brother, Mr Ford Hale, late of Cannon-street, who died a few years back, and who was a highly-respected member of the Cor poration for upwards of thirty years, as one of the Common Council for the Ward of Walbrook. In 1812, Mr Warren Storm Hale commenced business on his own account, and by persevering and energetic devotion for a long series of years, has attained a commercial position of high rank in the City, and secured an ampie fortune as the reward of his enterprise and industry. About the year 1833, certain discoveries and inventions, the result of scientific investigations by Chevreul and Gay Lussao, celebrated French chemists, in relation to animal and vegetable fatty acids, were brought into notice in this country by a French merchant, and Mr Hale, discerning the importance of these discoveries, became the first Eng lish manufacturer to act upon them. The changes thus introduced into the manufacture of candles involved the employment of substances not generally used for such pur poses, and their combination by new processes, and the science of chemistry, and the appliances of machinery en tering essentially into these processes, have received much attention from Mr Hale, and may be said to have been the main instruments of the success which he has met with. In conjunction with a sedulous attention to his own pri vate pursuits, Mr Hale has ever been characterised by a readiness and an aptitud e f or pu b l i c b us i ne ss which have occas ioned his being, during a long succession of years, selected for the performance of-various local and corporate functions. Thus, after serving a number of parochial and other offices, he was chosen, in the year 1825, as a representative of the Ward et Coleman-street in the Com mon Council, and for upwards of thirty 3 ears afterwards (and until called to assume higher duties) he continued so fully to enjoy the confidence of his fellow-citizens that whatever contests t oo k p l ace a t the successive annual elections, he wa s un if orm l y re -elected without th e least solicitation on his part ; and in the srme sponta neous and gratifying manner h ave a ll the subsequent hon ours which he has received b een b es t o wed upon him. For the last seven years th a t M r Hale was one of the C ommo n Council he held the honourable office of Deputy to the Alderman of Coleman -street - Ward, his friend, the late Mr Alderman Hunter, upon whose decease, in 1856, he was chosen by the unanimous voice of the electors, in a manner peculiarly honourable and flattering, to the responsible and dignified office of Alderman of the Ward with which ke had been so long and intimately connected. During the entire period of M r H a l e ' s connexion with the Corporation, his career has been one of singular activity and usefulness. He has been called to serve on all the most important committees of that body, of many of which he has been seleeted to be chairman, and has enjoyed tke happiness of being the means of eff (sting a large amount of good for his fellow- citizens of an enduring character. Mr IlEa:rit, the late election Governor cf the Bank of England, in proposing as alderman, described him a s "especiallyr distinguished in the cause of e d uca tion and benevolenc e ;" and any notice of his ser vices, however slight it ma y be, debeing l‘l Hale mands that he shouldi mportant educational es t a bli sn ments, which, while the y re dound so much to the be e promoter n o s o t f h et two i or iginator and suoceesfu honour of the City, are the means of conferring immense advantages upon the publ ic. These institutions are the City of London School for the sons of respectabl e c iti zens and inhabitants of London, which is now o ns o f t h e l arges t and most celebrated schools in the met ropo li s , an d th e school at Brixton , for th e education and m a i n t enance of one hundred and fifty orphan children of freemed of the City. Mr Hale has always taken a deep interest in both these establishments, and from the foundation of the City of London School, in 1834,:t0 the present time, has been the chairman of the committee for its management. From his known interest in such affairs, he has since he became au alderman, been selooted . to be one of th e com mittee of almoners, having the chief management of the royal foundation of Christ' s Hospital, He has also been chosen by the corporation as one of the six members reprea Conservancy he is, in addition, in th e Commission of the Peace for seating them at the Thames B oar d, an d the county of Middlesex, and also for the city of West minster. He is likewis e a director of the Metro politan Railway Company,of the London and Lancashire Fire and Life Insurance Company, and of the New Zea land Banking Corporation. In the year 1858-9, Mr Alderman .Hale efficiently filled the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex. His colleage was Mr Alderman Conder. who, on . account of age and infirmity, has since retired from piibllo life.. As a magia strate of the City, Mr Alderman Hale s services are notice able,bench, and for the painstaking discrimination which cha racterises his administration of justice. Such is the brief account of the gentleman whom his fellow• citizens, in the exercise of their much-cherished privilege of choosing their Chief Magistrate, have unani mously selected for the high and important office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, convinced by a knowledge of his character and quilifieationsi as will as by experience of his past services, that the dutiea which will devolve upon him in that capacity will ba faithfully and honourably pa formed.—Ciy Tress, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Business don( :Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erie and Jus tices Bylee and Keating.) TAYLOR, APPELLANT, V. HUMPHRIES, RESPONDENT-TRE BONA FIDE TRAVELLER QUESTION. lon i t 1021 95k This case stood for hearing till Monday. It, how ever, was called on this afternoon. It will be remembered that the appellant was a licensed victualler in business at Moseley, a place about two miles from Birmingham, and that on Sunday morning, the 17th April, the police found in his house 30 men, who were believed to be artisans from Bir mingham, some of whom were having bread and cheese and ale, and others were smoking. Before being admitted they were asked if they were " travellers," and they replied that they were. The local magistrates convicted the appellant of having his house open "otherwise than for the refresh ment of travellers," and fined him 40s. and costs. The decision was now appealed against. Chief-Justice Erle said the Court would look into the authorities and give judgment next week. SHERIFFS' COURT (Before Mr Commissioner Kerr.) TOO MANY COOKS AT THE AGRICULTURAL HALL,—A NEW LAW POINT.—SMITH V. EUDBIN. This was an action to recover one day's pay, plaintiff being a cook and defendant a refreshment contractor. Plaintiff said that he was a cook and cutter, and was at his house of call on a certain occasion when a message came from the defendant that three cooks were wanted at the Agricultural Hall. Plaintiff and two more gooks went up, and upon their arrival it was found that they were not wanted. His Honour—Your action is not brought in a proper form. It should rather have been in the nature of damages for not being employed. Plaintiff—l charge a day because I lost a day. If it had not been for the message from defendant I might have had a chance for a better job. Mr Rudkin denied that he had sent for three cooks, No such construction 0,.u1d be put upon the message. He sent word to the house of call that three cooks were wanted at the Agricultural Hall, and were to see the manager of the refreshment department at that place. The lad who took the message stated that there was no positive engagement of the plaintiff. A gneral message was left that three cooks or cutters were wanted at the Plaintiff—l and my two friends were the first on the list. It is customary in our line to consider that a cook is engaged for the day when he is sent for. His Honour could not see the case in that light at all. A message had been sent that three cooks were wanted, but the persons who went were referred to the manager, who would exercise his discretion as to engaging them. Plaintiff—Oh, dear, no. When we are sent for the first man on the list answers to the first call, and so on. Then it is considered that the cook is at all events engaged for the day. His Honour thought not. There appeared to be no specific engagement, but merely a message that certain men were wanted to see the manager. The manager did not choose to engage them, and defendant was not liable. 107& I Verdict for defendant. THAMES. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Dacey, a tall, dirty, and ungainly-looking follow, of boyish appearance, and whiskerless face, who was stated to be 23 years of age, and to be a moat dangerous character, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with highway robbery. Francis Crispin, a seaman, stated that last night, between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock, he was passing along Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, and was taking some tobacco out of his box, when the prisoner came up and pushed against him, and at the same time asked him for a piece of tobacco. He refused to give the prisoner any, and told him to " sheer off" as quickly as he could, and if he did not ho would pour a broadside into him with his fists. The prisoner swore at him and then went astern, but con. tinued to follow him. He steamed round and said to the prisoner "why do you follow me." The prisoner imme diately took his cap off and ran away. He gave chase to the prisoner,who went down a narrow alley. He soon over took and boarded the prisoner, who flung the cap away and then turned round and struck him, and before he could re cover himself pushed him on his knees and put his hand into his left hand waistcoat pocket and attempted to take the money out. Ho seized the prisoner and grappled with him, on which the fellow bit his thumb, made him let go, and again sailed away. He gave chase to the prisoner again and lost sight of him. Some time afterwards ho fell in with the prisoner again, and laid hold of him again. He never let gO the prisoner until a policeman bore down, and he gave him into custody. The cap cost him 38 63 in Dublin a few days ago, and he had not recovered it. The prisoner, who was recognised as an old offender, made no defence. The prosecutor said he had recently joined a ship, and was about to proceed to sea in her. Mr Partridge said the sailor had behaved well, and the prisoner should not escape some punishment. He sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, ~ LONDON, Nov. 12.—Wind this day at noon—South- Easterly; moderate breeze and fine weather, but a little cloudy.

Some of the trunks are rotten or bear marks of carbonisation; others are hard and have pre served their forms. Some, 26 inches in diameter and more, stand in water, and still preserve the appearance of wood. Many acorns and fir apples may be seen there bearing marks of petrifaction. There are many trees there which, when struck with a hatchet, will crumble into dust. There are pieces of petrified wood which emit a metallic sound, and on some of the hills circular strata are perceived formed of trunks still covered with bark. M, Erman states that similar deposits abound in Siberia. Dur ing his travels in that country he visited Jakoutsk, on the Lena River, where the soil is composed of marl, fine com mon, and lerruginous magnetic sand, to the depth of at least 1:0 feet. These strata were deposited there by water, w hi c h must have covered the whole countr y up to the Polar Sea. In the deepest places there are branches and roots of beech and willow; and as the Lena annually forms new islands, similar remains are observable on the ground thus laid bare. Everywhere throughout these immense beds the fossil bones of antediluvian animals aro to be found mingled with vegetable remains. In Nor, wajr, Mr Rooker was struck with the fact that large trees for merly grow on the island of Qualoen, where Lainuaerfest lies; the only vegetation now existing there being a few stunted birch trees. Some large trunks of the same species aro still standing , their bark being distinguishable. Now, since the air of Qualoen possesses remarkable preser vative qualities, it is not impossible that these remains of trees may date from many centuries back, such trees not having been seen to grow there within the memory of man. GUN ACCIDENT.—WhiIe Lord Sandys was shoot. ing over his estate at Ombersley, near Worcester, on Wednesday, by some unfortunate accident the charge of a gun lodged in his leg. He was immediately conveyed to Worcester, where ho was seen by Mr Carden, surgeon, who ex t rac ted several of the shot s , b u t was t, , able at the time to remove the wholo.
